All other Mustangs with rear disc brakes! :rollseyes
I found a few different methods, each of which is more of a pain in the ass than it should be. The Brembo's are very well engineered. The anchoring system for the e-brake...not so much.
You have no idea. For wheel/brake/suspension/oil/exhaust work it gets the gold medal. I've slashed time and effort from most anything I do on the car now. Color me very happy with it.
Phosphate coated 4340 studs came this afternoon. I may be out of ARP hardened washers so give me some time and I'll get back to you (or try me back if you don't hear from me).
Here's the 4340 next to the 17-4 PH
Back at you. I'm ecstatic about the jacking rails I got from you. Every time I lift the car it goes up on the rails and no contact is made with the pinch weld. I'll have to get a shot of it up on stands sooner or later and send it your way. If I purchase another S550 car it would be the first mod just as it was on this car. Thanks again Kelly.
Got my Tob patented stainless caliper bolts installed tonight. The fitment is perfect, and the quality is second to none. This is a super mod for anyone who will be changing pads with any frequency. Changing front pads will be a breeze. Thank you Professor Tob!
Dude you do realize that 2005-2014 Mustangs have rear disc brakes right? With floating calipers right? I mean... what am I missing here?
I am not really sure where this derailed but when you said this:
I tried to clarify for you with this:
Then you replied with this:
We have to break this down in sections. I have highlighted in red for you my statement where I said: like other single piston floating rear calipers found on almost all other Mustangs. Just for clarification for you, this would be Mustangs from 1994-2017.
In closing you stated:
So, then I thought you were confused or mislead and maybe you were thinking about who knows what, Gen I or Gen II Mustangs? I don't know, I'm not sure.
So then I tried to clarify for you with this:
In closing I'd like to say, I've been working on Mustangs for 5 decades. When I was a Ford Tech I worked on every year Mustang from 1964-1/2 to 1974. I then left the dealership in 1974 and did few other things before I started my business. I've been a hobbyist mechanic and amateur racer ever since. I've owned more Mustangs and Cougars than I can count and currently have six Mustangs between the years of 1966-2015.
Bruce have you found an R yet?
I love this thread. Thanks to Tob and the high quality writeups here I have a list of $5,000 worth of parts I must have for a $75,000 mustang I haven't even taken delivery of yet! If I sneak a subframe order in here and a catch can there I'll be ready when the car ships and won't have to beg for too much more forgiveness from the boss. It's all about preparation. Thanks dude!
Oh - and you're also contributing to the delinquency FTBR Bruce :beer::beer:

Yeah, I found some but don't want to pay what they are going for. No biggie. I need another Mustang like I need another hole in my head!
I know how Mustangs come from the factory and I know how they should drive. I didn't plan on a business developing out of it, it just happened that way. :-D
I meant for msrp:lol::beer:
I thought I was close for +$1K but it didn't come through. Could have had two GT 350's, but I'm an R model snob. ;-)
This was the part that I had confused:
The four pot fixed Brembo caliper allows for no means of an e-brake system like other single piston floating rear calipers found on almost all other Mustangs.
How I read that was:
The four pot fixed Brembo caliper allows for no means of an e-brake system (just) like other single piston floating rear calipers found on almost all other mustangs.
But now I see it was:
The four pot fixed Brembo caliper allows for no means of an e-brake system (unlike) other single piston floating rear calipers found on almost all other mustangs.
So it was basically grammar where I was confused.
I thought I was losing my mind there for a moment.
I can see where that night have been a bit confusing. I should have stated the Brembo does not have the means like the other rear calipers have.
Oh I know. I remember laying on the floor installing your bushings in a 2000 Cobra R with its rubber mounted mess. All in the pursuit of some good laps at RA! Hope the 2017 R is a bit more sorted but I'm sure you will find a way to make it better

Well we started with a 2015 GT and much like it's younger SN-95 cousin's IRS, suffered from the same issues. You have a PM. :-D
So I noticed CV joint grease all over the wheel/suspension at the driver side rear as I was getting ready to swap the last R model caliper on. This has been an issue with a number of GT350's and surprisingly enough, seems to favor the driver side axle. I swapped the R caliper into place and then cleaned everything, including the original wheels and tires. There was no way I was going to drop the car off at the dealer with the R specs on there what with their small lug holes, etc.
A real PIA getting the stuff off the barrel of the wheel. By the time I made it up to my local dealer the grease had splattered everywhere all over again. They confirmed my suspicions and ordered the entire driver side axle/CV joint assembly. Looks to be on national backorder for a little bit.:nonono:
Anyway, I snagged a crap-o-matic cell shot to at least show the overload of red.
Heading off to the Track Attack in Utah with George from MGW tomorrow morning. More when I get back.
